Story Transcript:
Et: Sügis Tallinna tänavatel on omaette vaatepilt.
En: Autumn on the streets of Tallinn is a sight unto itself.
Et: Lehed sahisevad jahedas tuules, värvides linnatänavaid kuldsete ja karmiinpunaste toonidega.
En: The leaves rustle in the cool wind, painting the city streets with golden and crimson hues.
Et: Just sellises meeleolus astuvad Maarja ja Indrek Tallinna Reaalkoolist välja, raamatud süles, peades keerdumas mõtted saabuvatest vaheeksamitest.
En: In just such an atmosphere, Maarja and Indrek step out of Tallinna Reaalkool, books in hand, with thoughts of upcoming midterms swirling in their heads.
Et: Maarja on tubli ja kohusetundlik õpilane, alati valmis õppimisega vaeva nägema.
En: Maarja is a diligent and conscientious student, always ready to put in effort for her studies.
Et: Õppimine ei ole talle lihtsalt harjumus, vaid ka kirg.
En: Learning is not just a habit for her, but also a passion.
Et: Tema eesmärk on selge – saada tipp-tulemusi ja unistuste ülikooli stipendium.
En: Her goal is clear – to achieve top results and earn a scholarship to her dream university.
Et: Indrek seevastu paistab olevat muretu ja enesekindel noormees.
En: Indrek, on the other hand, seems to be a carefree and confident young man.
Et: Kuid selle maski taga on mured, millest keegi ei tea.
En: However, behind this facade are worries that no one knows about.
Et: Ta tahab samuti eksamid edukalt sooritada, kuid tal on raskusi materjali mõistmisega.
En: He also wants to pass the exams successfully, but struggles with understanding the material.
Et: Bright Marketplace on elav koht, eriti sügisel, kui turuletid on lookas värskete köögiviljade all.
En: Bright Marketplace is a lively place, especially in autumn, when the stalls are laden with fresh vegetables.
Et: Õhk on täis erksust ja kauplejate hüüdeid.
En: The air is full of vibrancy and the calls of vendors.
Et: Maarja ja Indrek otsustavad, et peale kooli tikk särava turuplatsi servale pinkidele õppima.
En: Maarja and Indrek decide to sit down on the benches by the edge of the bright market square after school to study.
Et: Maarja muretseb pidevalt, kas tema teadmised on piisavad, samal ajal kui Indrek üritab jätta muljet, et tal on kõik kontrolli all.
En: Maarja constantly worries whether her knowledge is sufficient, while Indrek tries to give the impression that he has everything under control.
Et: Maarja avab oma matemaatikakonspektid ja hakkab läbivaatama keerulisi teoreeme.
En: Maarja opens her math notes and starts reviewing complex theorems.
Et: Indrek naeratab ja teeskleb, et saab kõigest aru.
En: Indrek smiles and pretends to understand everything.
Et: Kuid Maarja märkab, et Indrekil on raskusi.
En: But Maarja notices that Indrek is struggling.
Et: Igal küsimusel, mida Maarja esitab, järgneb vaikne viivitus Indreku poolt.
En: Every question that Maarja asks is followed by a quiet pause from Indrek.
Et: "Miks sa ei vasta kohe?"
En: "Why don't you answer right away?"
Et: küsib Maarja lõpuks, murepilk silmis.
En: Maarja finally asks, with a concerned look in her eyes.
Et: Indrek hingab sügavalt sisse.
En: Indrek takes a deep breath.
Et: Kartus ja häbi segunevad temas.
En: Fear and shame mix within him.
Et: "Tegelikult...
En: "Actually...
Et: Ma arvan, et ma ei mõista se
